7.2 The Story about the Elder Mahā Kassapa

The Buddha set out on walkabout with a great host of bhikkhus, but seeing none left behind in Sāvatthī, he sent Elder Mahā Kassapa and his entourage back; some bhikkhus, not knowing about the instruction, accused the elder of being attached to his regular supporters, but the Buddha explained it was otherwise.
